(September 9, 2010 at 5:10 pm)Watson Wrote: I like to think in terms of 'emotional logic.' At any given time we are reacting emotionally to something, whether logically or not.
For instance, say you are walking down the road and witness a terrible car wreck. No one would question you if you expressed horror over the incident in question. Because it is emotionally logical to respond to a car wreck with horror.
I'm not sure if the term emotional logic isn't an oxymoron. Logic is the unemotive manipulation of the available data to eventually reach a conclusion.
In the example of seeing a car wreck, logic tells you that from past data of similar car wrecks that someone in that vehicle is probably hurt or dead, it's then that the emotive element of a persons reactions come into play.
However, because this process happens so fast, I can see how you have come to the conclusion stated above.

Archeologists near mount Sinai have discovered what is believed to be a
missing page from the Bible. The page is currently being carbon dated in
Bonn. If genuine it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed to
read "To my darling Candy. All characters portrayed within this book are
fictitous and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely
coincidental." - Newsreader in 'Red Dwarf 2: Better Than Life'
